Event: The Role of the Traffic Commissioner

About the event

Traffic Commissioners are responsible for the licensing and regulation of those who operate heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), buses and coaches, known as public service vehicles (PSVs), and the registration of local bus services. They are assisted in this work by deputy Traffic Commissioners, who preside over a number of public inquiries.

The Traffic Commissioners' (TCs) shared vision is to champion safe, fair and reliable passenger and goods transport. They achieve this by ensuring licensed operators comply with undertakings that are made upon grant of a licence, as well as the mandatory requirements for holding a licence. This work is driven by their commitment to managing risks to road safety, protecting fair competition and promoting the running of punctual and reliable registered local bus services.
